Innovative concepts and new technologies for regional multi-jurisdictional integrated traffic management

With their significant economic influence and continuous growth, many major urban regions around the world often attract a large portion of their country's respective total population and jobs, and extend over large geographical areas, administered by multiple jurisdictional agencies. As such, these major urban regions are increasingly the economic engines that drive, not only their respective country's economy, but also the world economy. Transportation is vital to the social and economic health of these mega-urban regions. But with their continuous growth, there is increasing traffic congestion within these regions, and there is a continuous and growing need to manage transportation within the region by more efficient and more cost effective means. This paper examines innovative concepts and new technologies currently being employed for the integrated management of transportation in regional multi-jurisdictional urban areas.
